Frosted Reflections by Christel CrewsPeering out the frosted glass, I sit
the wind singing against the window pane,
lingering in memories of loved ones who've past
and the lines dividing years seem to fade.
Remembrances of happier times
when there was hope in my life
and peace in my heart.
The rain seeks to wash away the strife.
Traditions lend a comforting arm
reaching for a place where I can begin
to release my heart, my emotions, my mind
from the empty hold of the captive within.
